That same day, mainstream news outlets reported that demons had infiltrated Mingzhu Academy.

The news immediately sparked heated discussions in society.

After all, it is one of China's top universities, so such a serious incident that endangers students' lives will naturally attract widespread attention from all sectors of society.

The news was not suppressed by some unknown forces; on the contrary, it spread widely.

In fact, many similar situations have occurred in human history, each time resulting in the deaths of hundreds or even tens of thousands of people.

The casualties in this demon incident at Mingzhu Academy were almost negligible, which is quite fortunate.

All of this was thanks to Jiang Chuan's timely intervention.

Even the news was praising Jiang Chuan's contributions to the incident, which greatly increased his fame.

Therefore, the school publicly commended Jiang Chuan's achievements at its monthly school-wide assembly.

Unfortunately, the school didn't offer any reward.

"Academician Li, is there really no reward at all?"

The commendation ceremony had just ended when Jiang Chuan approached Academician Li, who was in charge of the ceremony, with a smile.

"No," Academician Li shook his head.

"I made such a big contribution and helped the school avoid such a huge loss, but I didn't get any reward at all. It's really disheartening." Jiang Chuan pretended to be heartbroken.

He knew there wouldn't be any reward, but he still wanted to try, hoping to snag something good.

"You're right, but I can't agree to the reward."


Since that's what they said, Jiang Chuan didn't insist anymore. He also had things to do anyway, so he didn't stay at school any longer.

……

Since there was a surplus of magical artifacts, Jiang Chuan spent a lot of money to buy a storefront two blocks away from the Hunter Alliance in Shanghai, specifically to sell magical artifacts.

Because these magical artifacts were of low quality, mostly used by beginner and intermediate level mages, they went unnoticed.

Another point worth mentioning is that, in order to prevent his identity from being revealed, Jiang Chuan registered as a hunter under the identity of the Hidden Spirit Mask a long time ago.

Therefore, investigating the magic item shop can only lead to the identity of the Hidden Spirit Mask.

...

After leaving school, Jiang Chuan went to the magic tool shop wearing the Spirit Concealment Mask.

Before even entering, I saw groups of hunters coming and going at the shop entrance, making it seem rather crowded.

Jiang Chuan squeezed in.

"Boss! Boss!" Yang Yue, the waitress with the best eyesight, was the first to spot Jiang Chuan's arrival and hurriedly went forward to greet him.

"How's business lately?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"It's incredibly popular!"

Yang Yue said excitedly, "Hunters are saying that the magical tools in our shop are of better quality than other magical tools of the same level, and more and more hunters have been coming to buy magical tools in the past few days."

"Are you all busy enough? How many magical artifacts are left in the warehouse?" Jiang Chuan was slightly surprised. He knew that his magical artifacts were of good quality, but he did not expect them to be so popular.

The crafting menu is really powerful!

"We can manage now, but if there are more people, we definitely won't be able to handle it."

Yang Yue continued, "There are still two-thirds of the magical items left in the warehouse. At the current daily trading volume, they can be sold for more than a month."

Jiang Chuan nodded slightly and went to the backstage to check the store's bills.

I watched and pondered at the same time.

He opened this magic item shop specifically to sell low-grade magic items, but he would put in a few high-grade magic items every week.

It has been two and a half months since the store opened, and the turnover has been better than expected.

It has to be said that the hunters in Shanghai are much richer than the hunters in Bo City. They can buy magical tools worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars without hesitation. Some wealthy hunters even buy consumables as if they were nothing.

Based on this, we can expand the scale a bit.

"Yang Yue, I'm promoting you to assistant manager of Chuanhe Magic Tools Store. In the coming period, recruit ten employees as soon as possible," Jiang Chuan said.

"Huh?" Yang Yue was initially surprised, then said with a bitter face, "Ten employees are too many, our store can't hold that many, boss."

"You don't need to worry about that. I'll take over the shop next door as well. We'll connect the two sides, and then even fifteen of you might not be enough," Jiang Chuan said.

There's another shop next door, with masks that cost twice as much as Chuanhe Magic Tool Shop. I originally wanted to buy both, but I was worried about the business not doing well, so I didn't go to negotiate.

Now that we've established a firm foothold, we can start talking.

"I understand." Only after hearing these words did Yang Yue agree.

"Alright, you guys get back to work, I'm going to restock the warehouse."

After giving Yang Yue his instructions, Jiang Chuan went to the warehouse and filled it to the brim.

Before leaving, he thought for a moment and put another Stardust artifact inside.

Having magical tools alone is not enough; magical artifacts are also necessary, but their quality cannot be too high. They should be suitable for beginner and intermediate-level mages to avoid attracting too much attention.

Once the magic item shop expands, it will need to be maintained for a long time.

Otherwise, if they continue to expand, it will be extremely easy to infringe on the interests of the four great families.

Unless their strength reaches a higher level, at least a super-level, they can sell goods that are more valuable.

...............

After dealing with the magic item shop, Jiang Chuan didn't return to school but went straight back to the villa.

Mo Fan and Xu Zhaoting are coming over for a get-together today, so we need to prepare in advance.

As soon as I entered the villa, I saw Xinxia walking slowly with her arms supporting her against the wall, with Aunt Zhang, the housekeeper who had been hired to do the laundry and cooking, standing next to her.

"Xinxia!" Jiang Chuan called out.

When Xinxia saw that it was Jiang Chuan, her face lit up with joy. Suddenly, cloud wings spread out from her back, like a gust of wind, or rather, a fragrant breeze, and she pounced on Jiang Chuan.

"Brother Jiangchuan, I'm able to stand up on my own for longer and longer periods of time!" Xinxia said happily.

Jiang Chuan laughed and said, "When your magic level is higher, you might be able to stand up completely."

"Really?"

"Of course, didn't the hospital tests say there's nothing wrong with your body's functions? You still have all your limb sensation, but you just can't stand up. Now that your magic level is getting higher and higher, you'll gradually be able to stand up. So it seems that once you reach a higher level, you should be able to stand up completely," Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if I can't stand up, I already have the Cloud Wings that Brother Jiang Chuan gave me." Xin Xia smiled happily, which was pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Chuan patted her little head, then turned to Aunt Zhang beside him and said, "Auntie, could you please prepare a lavish meal today, with plenty of fish and meat?"

"Is someone coming to ask for it? Are there any dietary restrictions?" Aunt Zhang asked.

Jiang Chuan nodded: "My high school classmates are coming. They don't have any dietary restrictions, so just cook as much as you can. They can eat a lot."

"Okay, I'll go prepare right away." Aunt Zhang said and left.

Aunt Zhang used to work at a hotel. She was an excellent cook and also very meticulous in her dealings with people.

If it weren't for finding a bargain, it would have been impossible to find such a good nanny.

Excellent nannies like these are only found in wealthy families; they wouldn't be available to ordinary families.
